| Addie A Gutchess Univ. of Michigan 1909 |
According to Addie, her father's first name Niram was a contraction of the name Adoniram, in honor of Adoniram Judson, a famous Baptist missionary to India. In 1941 at the alumni banquet, being the oldest in attendance, at age 79 she said:
"There are two kinds of humans -- they are infants as long as they can learn; after that they are old fogeys. When I reach the latter classification, you may scratch me off your roll".
Her words truly reflect her
philosophy toward lifelong learning. In Addie's words, she was
"scratched off" the roll in 1957 when she died at age 95. She
is buried with her husband Stephen (see bio below) at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery,
Port Byron, NY.
